So, I got into the habit of binding books again! So much FUN! There is nothing better than to take nothing and create a brand new book! What have I done with these books I've created? Check it out! Art Journals are awesome! Not only do you get to express yourself through words, pictures and Art really jazz it up! Follow me on this journey and start your own! Art Journal Entry #1 A Random Memory of Someone You Love Photo Collage and Chalk Painting How to do a Chalk Painting:
Lesson: Chalk Paintings
Big Goal: Students will learn about the use of resists.
Specific Outcomes:
- Students will learn about color value.
- Students will about history of resist art work
Procedure:
1. Have students sketch out some ideas they would like for a painting on scrap paper.
2. After they have a pretty good sketch of their painting, give them a piece of light colored construction paper and a piece of chalk.
3. Have them draw their picture on the construction paper with the chalk. Make sure to press pretty hard on the chalk so you get a nice, solid line.
4. After they have chalked their drawing out. Show them how to paint within the chalk lines. We do not want paint on the chalk. The chalk is what will create the resist. Show them how to use white and black to create different values in their painting to make their project more dynamic.
5. Once they are done with chalking and painting and their paint is dry, make some Black Tempera water. Add a bit of paint and a little, tiny bit of water. Mix it up and then paint on top of the project. Tell them how the acrylic paint resist the black tempera water. The chalk soaks up the black tempera water to give an awesome effect.
6. Let project sit with black water paint on it for at least 3-5 minutes.
7. Once this has happen, gently rinse the black paint off of the painting.
8. Let sit until dry. Take home.
